We are teaming up with @AGoodPlug & @40TonsBrand to create a Spicy Mango THC Gummy with net proceeds being donated to the 40Tons Foundation, an organization working to free the people still imprisoned for non-violent cannabis offenses. These gummies will be released April 20, 2025! 🌶️🥭

We're gonna regulate hemp

The anti-cannabis media blitz right before Trump signed Schedule III is a pretty wild look at how bought our media actually is.
Weeks of “weed is dangerous” and “scromiting” stories landing together across every major outlet.
Then Trump signs. And it all stops. At once.
Makes you wonder how much of what we read every day is actually good information versus a narrative we’re being told to accept.
Propaganda is alive in well in America.
Both parties ignored or harassed the cannabis industry. When Democrats controlled the House, Senate, and White House, we still couldn't get cannabis reform bills passed. I would go much further and end the federal war on a plant entirely, but at LEAST let legal businesses operate as legal businesses.
The Government just fucked my family's livelihood.
Literally destroyed it overnight with the Hemp provision.
I will not be voting in 2026 or 2028.
The GOP sucks and will sell out to lobbies and Big donors at the expense of the American people.
Fuck the Government.
You may not like hemp, but it doesn't change the fact that small business owners have risked everything to build a legal business that, with a stroke of a pen, the government might close.
It isn't right, and it isn't America First. That's why McConnell is behind it.
@GaryZibawitz @Sludge Okay, let me rephrase it. 99% of the industry will be banned. That’s if we can even get a hemp plant to grow compliantly in the 0.4mg THC limit - not likely.
You can't legislate away consumer demand.
Option A: Legal hemp = tested products, regulated businesses, tax revenue.
Option B: Criminalized hemp = dangerous black markets, zero oversight, organized crime.
Last night, the Senate chose Option B — based on misinformation, not data. Instead of enforcing and improving existing rules, lawmakers took the lazy route: prohibition.
So, what do you think — will prohibition work this time?

The alcohol industry will not be happy until hemp is eradicated from this country!
Alcohol lobbies already tried and failed to ban hemp in Texas, and are now leading the charge federally.
As cannabis use grows nationwide, alcohol is choosing to take out the competition rather than listening to consumers nationwide!
As a member of the Kentucky General Assembly who worked directly on the legislation that established our commonwealth’s hemp regulatory framework, I am deeply disappointed to see Congress attempting to undo years of careful, bipartisan work to build a responsible hemp market in Kentucky.
For the past several years, our commonwealth has led the nation in crafting sensible policies that protect consumers and support Kentucky farmers. We put in place strict testing, labeling, and packaging requirements. We established age limits and product safety standards. We listened to parents, law enforcement, and small business owners and we struck a balance between market access and public safety.
Now, the U.S. House of Representatives is considering legislation that would disregard all that progress to take us back to prohibition—a policy that is proven not to work.
By working to criminalize Kentucky-grown and regulated hemp products, Congress is not protecting children. They are punishing farmers, entrepreneurs, and consumers who have played by the rules. This move represents the worst kind of Washington overreach, a top-down, one-size-fits-all mandate that erases the work of state leaders who have already addressed their own issues.
Kentucky’s hemp farmers trusted our federal delegation when they championed the 2018 Farm Bill. They invested their livelihoods in this industry. Our state legislature took that foundation and built a successful regulatory model that has been implemented by other states.
I am grateful for the courageous effort that Senator Rand Paul put forth to try to remove these problematic provisions in the Senate. Likewise, Congressman Thomas Massie has always been a strong advocate for the Hemp Industry, having filed the Industrial Hemp Farming Act dating back to 2013.
We’ve come so far and it would be an egregious mistake to destroy the progress. I urge Congress to withdraw this misguided language, meet with the farmers and small business owners they’re putting at risk, and work with the states— not against them— to build the clear, consistent federal standards this industry deserves.
Kentucky got hemp right. Washington shouldn’t be trying to ruin it.
@ScottPresler He is not wrong. This affects over 300,000+ jobs and is a $30B+ industry. We need regulation not prohibition. Regulation makes our already safe industry even safer. So sick of these idiots ruining our country.
